Egads woman! Teeth can be painful like torture. I have compassion for you. One time, my teeth hurt so bad I was screaming inside.

It reminds me of the time my wife's teeth hurt and finally we saved up enough money and all were pulled. She got dentures.

She hated them of course. She wanted them. She got them. Her brother got the posts embedded in his jaw. She has to use the glue. When her dentures are in absolutely adorable smile.

Now getting back to when my teeth hurt. I could not get an appointment. My boss did not want to let me off work. My brother's wife is a Mexican and the dentist is in Mexico.

So, I made an appointment and went down to see him, Dr. Valenzuela, graduate of Stanford, University. So I got off for the weekend. Drove down to the border of California near Arizona. It cost only $800 for two crowns. Oh, they don't use gas in Mexico. It's illegal.

Anyways, I had to make three consecutive weekend trips there and back, to see the dentist to the stars!

His office was so high tech and there were 30 employees at least!

It took 33 shots while the work was done. And the bad part was, apparently I was placed on the watch list as a smuggler, or human trafficker, or drugs.

I was almost arrested because we took our dog and the dog died in the car. It was summer and my wife would not go to the car to let the dog out. So, the border patrol had me. Because I was trucking, the highway patrol came to arrest me. My mouth hurt like hell. I could hardly talk.

Anyways, as my Dad used to say, "To make long story short, I uttered the words, "Talitha Cumi," made the sign of the cross and the dog came back to life. That's what Jesus said to the dead girl...

Oh look, she's alive I pointed!

Yep. That really happened. All told, with gas, food, two tires melted because the asphalt melted them, it was too hot, so they melted.

I was eating taffy and chewing it. Rip. Off popped a crown. Then the second one. I have a design for super high tech posts that are hypoallergenic.

That's life. A fun adventure but at least there is a God and He is good. A real saviour in times of need. Hehehehe.

Yes, a true story
